A boutique investment bank run by a former Goldman Sachs banker has just upped the ante on junior pay as the battle for talent continues.
FT Partners, an advisory firm focused on the fintech sector, has rolled out a pay rise for its analysts that will increase starting salaries from $100,000 to $140,000 in the US and to £85,000 in London, according to people familiar with the move. Second years will now be paid $150,000, or £95,000 in London.
The bank has also rolled out pay rises for associates, which are now paid salaries of £120,000 in their first year, £140,000 in their second year and £150,000 after three years.
The new salaries put junior salaries at FT Partners, started by former Goldman Sachs banker Steve McLaughlin in 2002, around 30% above its larger Wall Street rivals. Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley have all hiked entry-level salaries twice since March last year, but none has gone above $110,000.
McLaughlin confirmed to Financial News that his firm had raised salaries across the board, as well as some of the numbers.
“We have always been one of the highest paying, but it has been under the radar,” he said. “As CEO, I recently decided that we should be more visible on our junior banker comp, making it the highest on the street for the best performers. This is not because we have retention issues, but to simply reward the most talented, hardest working and best performing bankers on the street.”
Before FT Partners’ move, which is effective from 1 February, the highest paying investment bank for juniors was boutique Centerview Partners, which increased entry level pay from $90,000 to $130,000 in January.
McLaughlin said that the pay rises were one part of a broader range of efforts to maintain employee well-being that will include a forthcoming ski trip to the French Alps for its London office, and — before Covid lockdowns — private concerts for staff by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and Snoop Dogg.
Yes FT does pay $140 base
Updated FTP 140k salary offers were sent out Late April/Early May. SA 2022/2023 pay is also prorated to this amount (Told them over zoom meeting).

One word. Boom!
Where’s SVB, Guggs, Rothschild?
Bump
Guggenheim 110k base, Rothschild 105k base
Rothschild just raised to $120
Where’s JPM
Where would LionTree rank
BofA same bracket as MS/CS? CMON BRUUUUUUUUUU
Missing LionTree –– first year top bucket is like 230
Also Ducera and Dyal both well north of 200
what about HL? I know Corpfin is paid the same as RX.
CF and RX do not get the same bonuses.
Citi probs pays a bit more than McDonald’s
Rothschild 120k base
How much for associates?
PWP ain't that good--certainly doesn't deserve tier 2 ranking, at least for analysts
In all seriousness, isn't this just based off geography? Pretty sure HW has higher effective comp than CVP
True. According to online COL calculators, 170k in Richmond >= ~450k in NYC.
This guy monopolymatters (the guy who wrote this post) goes to my school. He interned at Citi, didn't get a return offer, and now is shitting on Citi in all of his comments/posts. Don't listen to this salty troll.
